in reply to Perl Strings != C strings?

Define the format for your strings, and follow the format on both sides of the FIFO. In perl, \0 is the null character. Also see chr(0). I think that there may also be a way using pack to create a null terminated string.

    Of course; my format is the null-terminated string, because I'm familiar with it.
